Returning home, Zhang Kai sighed. He was so tired, having to smile all day and being ordered around by Bai lan. "It's a good thing this body is stronger than my body on earth," he muttered, massaging his aching shoulders.

He needed to show his ability, in order to be freed from the slave contract. Zhang Kai couldn't think of any other way, unless he had the strength and money to break free from the slave contract.

According to Lin Bei, the closer they were to their master. There would be many benefits, including vacations and a lot of money.

Moreover, if the master they served rose in position and got a promotion. Then the servant's salary and position would also increase, with the hope of being released from the slave contract.

While still walking, suddenly. Zhang Kai was pulled by several people into a dark place, and he was evicted, but Zhang Kai did not scream and ask for help.

Zhang Kai was then tied up by several other young men, they were servants too. "Don't scream!" A young man threatened him, and Zhang Kai just smiled.

He knew who this was, without even having to guess. "I told you, don't mess around. Now you are aiming for my position" said Qian he who appeared from the darkness.

His face looked very angry and furious, Zhang Kai knew. This person felt threatened by him, because he was able to do things that were difficult for others to do.

Zhang Kai was not so afraid of his threats, he was used to threats. To him, Qian he was nothing more than a coward.

"If you still dare to look seeking attention, then you will feel this kind of torture" Instantly, Qian he beat him up, assisted by his subordinates.

Zhang Kai was beaten only in the abdomen downwards, they didn't want his wounds to be seen by Bai lan. Even so, Zhang Kai was made to bleed from his mouth.

"Cuihhh!!!" They all spat on Zhang Kai, and then left. Meanwhile, Zhang Kai chuckled.

"Hahaha" finished laughing, Zhang Kai immediately stood up and walked limply. The other waiters who saw him, no one helped him at all.

Including Lin Bei, he even changed rooms. "I warned you, you're deliberately looking for trouble" said Lin Bei who looked disappointed, Zhang Kai did not care about his disappointment.

He knew that Lin Bei was not a person who sincerely befriended others. "Ughh, this stings" Zhang Kai wiped the wound, then tried to fall asleep, although the stinging was always present.

Upon waking up, Zhang Kai felt pain all over his body. He decided to take a shower, and although it still hurt he was able to walk and move even if forced.

Everyone was looking at him differently now, Zhang Kai did not find a single empty spot. Finally, Zhang Kai took a shower while standing up.

After taking a shower, Zhang Kai sighed. His room had been messed up, the mattress was even torn. He could only be patient, then pulled up one of the wooden floors.

There were clothes that Zhang Kai had hidden, he knew this would happen. "I'd better get going" Zhang Kai quickly changed and rushed back to work.

Zhang Kai arrived in front of Bai Lan's room, Qian he was already there. He grinned at Zhang Kai's condition, Zhang Kai only looked at him for a moment and then smiled.

Qian he looked very satisfied, with the result of his threat. 'He seems to have learned his lesson, that's good' Zhang Kai had been silent since before, not long after Bai lan called Zhang Kai.

'Damn it, why do you keep calling him' Qian He was angry in his heart, he was like an invisible ghost.

"Please bring these books" Bai lan handed over some books, as he remembered Bai lan was going to study with a scholar. he would study for 4-5 days, every rich person usually called a scholar to teach their children.

'There are no books on cultivators, maybe there will be' she thought.

Zhang Kai followed suit, wondering what kind of lessons they would receive from a scholar. Perhaps, Zhang Kai would get a little information or even more.

Bai lan came out, but he just passed Qian he. Even though Qian he looked very prepared, his face changed as soon as he saw Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai laughed in his heart, Qian he had been ignored by bai lan. But Qian he still followed her from behind, his study spot was in one of the rooms overlooking the backyard.

Scholars are quite important people in the government, they carry out many administrative and other tasks. They certainly have more knowledge than ordinary people.

Although they were respected, they were not as exalted as cultivators. In that room, there was Bai lan's younger sister who was also going to participate in the lesson, while the scholar looked very authoritative and smart.

As soon as the class started, Bai lan and her younger sister became serious. The scholar explained well, and Zhang Kai understood.

The scholar looked at Zhang Kai, he looked very focused listening to his lesson. 'Interesting, let's wait further' he smiled slightly, then continued his lesson until the afternoon.

"I'm so tired" Bai lan gestured for his book to be carried, Zhang Kai nodded and immediately followed suit.

After returning from there, Zhang Kai was stopped by Qian he. "Don't smile in front of me!" Qian he was annoyed and immediately hit him, the wound that was still swollen added to the pain.

Zhang Kai groaned slightly, Qian he then slapped him and left. "Urghhh" Zhang Kai tried to stand up, even though the wound was so painful.

The next day, Zhang Kai's schedule was still the same. He accompanied Bai lan to study, and also ended up getting beaten up every day by Qian he who really disliked him.

Zhang Kai continued to be patient, even though every day, he had to feel a lot of pain. Fortunately, he was grateful to have gotten a lot of information from his learning from Bai lan's class.

"Tomorrow is my day off!!!, accompany me to the city" Bai lan pointed at Zhang Kai, he was in good spirits today, unlike the day before.

Zhang sometimes forgets that this spoiled child is just a child who needs freedom. "Yes sir" Bai lan walked happily.
